Chapter 117 - Home sweet home
After having concluded matters with the Withersworths, Scarlett and the others stayed in Autumnwell for three more days. The old couple was generous enough to let them stay as guests during that period, and surprisingly, Leon had also asked to remain with them for that time. That was despite what he’d previously said about having other things to deal with before he was sent off on whatever assignment his order had gotten.
She suspected he had been looking for more opportunities to figure out what was up with her and why she seemed to have changed so much.
Or maybe he just enjoyed going around dungeons.
Whatever his motives, Scarlett had little reason to deny him at the moment.
With his aid, they had cleared two more dungeons in the Autumnwell area these past days. She had been hoping they would have time for more than that—there were at least four dungeons relatively close to the city which she had been aiming for—but the others had been harder to find than expected.
Considering the gains they got from just Abelard’s Doll Mansion, though, she wasn’t complaining too much.
In addition to assisting them on their excursions, Leon had also kept his promise to spar with both Fynn and Shin the previous day. That event had caused a bit of fuss among the group. Scarlett hadn’t seen it herself, but from what she’d heard, both of the young men had impressed the knight after they fought him together.
Of course, they hadn’t actually beaten Leon. Neither was close to that level yet.
But it was good that they were developing, and spending some of their free time on things like this, even if Scarlett didn’t have much interest in the particulars of how those things went.
At the moment, she was sitting in a small guest office in one of the Withersworth mansion’s wings. The [Bag of Juham] and [Pouch of Holding] were placed on the side of the desk in front of her as she had been recording their contents. For the last three days, whenever she had nothing else to do, she had been going through these items.
She could just leave it to the servants when they returned to Freybrook, but it felt like a decent idea to get a grasp of what they had actually gained from all this.
That being said, there was a lot of it. The [Bag of Juham] had an impressive amount of storage space, and they had ransacked a whole mansion, so that was about what one would expect. There were also a couple of crates on the floor that they had bought here in Autumnwell, which carried some of the extra loot taken from the latest two dungeons. The carriage’s trunk would be cramped on the way back.
